Carol Platt Liebau: Ignoring the Violence on Palm Sunday

Carol Platt Liebau: Ignoring the Violence on Palm Sunday

Author: Salem Podcast Network April 1, 2026 Duration: 1:00

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the holiest week in the Christian calendar. But for Christians in Syria and Nigeria, it was a day marked by bloodshed and tragedy.

In Syria, sectarian attacks in a Christian town damaged homes, shops and cars—as men on motorcycles from a nearby Sunni Muslim town terrorized the community into the early morning hours.

In Nigeria, the violence was even more horrific. Muslim gunmen attacked a university community, killing at least 30 people and injuring many more.

Yet coverage of this violence was scant. Instead, there was widespread media outrage when Israel briefly paused public prayer gatherings due to Iranian missile threats—before quickly reversing course.

There’s a very clear double standard. And it raises serious questions about whether Western media outlets are intimidated by Islamism.

They certainly have not shown courage.
